This is a lovely Caribbean place located on the idyllic Lachine canal. The food was so tasty. We had the Caribbean sheppards pie & the pulled pork griot sandwich. It was well seasoned & the prices are so affordable. Hot dishes are $16-$18.
The owner & his wife ate so hospitable, make you feel so welcome. He whipped up a delicious Caribbean rum punch with fresh guava & passion fruit juice & Babacourt rum
They also have an extensive hot chocolate & crepes menu. The chocolate desserts & drinks are made with real cocoa sourced from Haiti. Give thus place a try. Finally a decent recent that wont break your budget

Where else will you go for great hot chocolate. Really nice spot, by the water. The staff is very friendly. Would easily recommend

I struggle to understand charging an espresso $7. My wife liked her chocolate cake. Glass of wine was pricey as well but I can tolerate that more than the price of the coffee.

February 27/25 = We were a group of 18 people who reserved for 12:30 pm & were very much looking forward to trying this new establishment. Creperies are somewhat difficult to come by in the suburbs. Regretfully, the chef was 45 minutes late & they seemed short staffed as making crepes to order on one grill for 18 people was quite time consuming. My mother's crepe had cheese that wasn't completely melted & the crepes could have done with a little more browning. The menu was limited as not everything that appeared on the menu was available. The dessert crepes were delicious though! Coffee was good, although the Blue Mountain Haitian has a somewhat lighter taste. The chocolatier, Mr. Ralph Leroy, did give an somewhat rushed explanation of his products. Would have liked to try his chocolate truffles but none were available; not even to purchase.
The atmosphere was nice & the background music just loud enough to enjoy our lively discussions. Regretfully, the washrooms could be cleaner with enough tissue paper for both stalls. Regretfully, feel that Makaya Chocolat & Bistro were not prepared for a group of 18 even though we had reservations. It's too bad as was planning on having my wedding anniversary there next month but the experience was lacking.

Came in from frosty cold romantic walk along the scenic frozen landscape of the majestic Lachine with my beautiful partner. & since we were parked outside Makaya we decided to go inside & indulge in some hot chocolate. The ambience, service, decor, & chocolate beverages were spectacular. 😋 highly recommend!!!

Chef Ralph delivers a wonderful dining experience. The food is excellent, the hot chocolate is sublime, the service is attentive & excellent & the ambiance comfortable & intuitive. What else could anyone ever want?

Makaya Chocolat Bistro is a must go to spot along the lakeshore!

We took the Parisien hot chocolate, it was the true definition of the hot chocolate (not chocolate milk), served by the chef himself,it was a gem discovery. Thanks again & see you shortly.

I have only had hot chocolate & crepe in this place. Hot chocolate hands on the best I have ever had. The consistency that I like.
The brie & salted caramel crepe is amazing.

The service was slow in a few times that I have been there. It makes sense for the hot chocolate because they make it from scratch. They will let you onow beforehand. But again they seem to be short staffed & except for the owner the rest of the staff do not seem to have proper training in the industry.
The restrooms are kind of worn down. Despite being decently clean.

I had the pleasure of dining at THIS Haitian Bistro, & it was truly an unforgettable experience. The spices in the dishes warmed the soul, & the chef was just as warm & accommodating, making us feel right at home. We started with the bread soup, which was an explosion of flavor-rich, comforting, & full of depth. It was more than just a dish; it was an experience. Even the PURE chocolate dessert exceeded expectations, adding a perfect touch to our meal. The vibe inside was absolutely ideal for a date, with a cozy & welcoming atmosphere that made the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy flavors in a charming setting!
